This resort is tucked away from the hustle and bustle, offering a serene escape with beautiful ocean views and a well-kept pool area. I found the service to be thoughtful, especially with the packed meals for early fishing trips. However, the condition of the facilities left much to be desired, especially the rooms, which were lacking privacy and had some maintenance issues. Overall, it's not the ideal choice for everyone, but it does have its charm for those seeking a quiet getaway.

The rooms were basic and clean, but lacked adequate privacy and some were in disrepair. I was surprised to find a hole in the screen door, and the general upkeep could definitely use some attention.

The location is very peaceful and safe, located about a 10-minute ride from the airport and town center, on a beautiful stretch of black sand beach. It’s a bit far from the nightlife though.

Dining was hit or miss; while the chef prepared an exceptional meal with our catch, the breakfast offerings were quite basic compared to other places I’ve stayed.

The overall facilities were neat, but definitely showed signs of aging and could use a renovation. The pool area was nice, but the overall maintenance could improve.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. The location is beautiful and the beach was empty and peaceful, which I loved. However, the condition of the rooms was disappointing, with some necessary improvements needed. The restaurant on-site provided good meals, but navigating the dining arrangements was a bit confusing. Overall, I appreciated the staff's efforts and some thoughtful touches, but there were notable aspects that need enhancement.

The location was surprisingly tranquil and close to the beach, making it great for relaxing. However, it was a little out of the way from town, requiring a taxi ride to access other amenities.

My recent stay at the resort was a mixed experience. On one hand, the room was basic yet clean, and the staff went out of their way to accommodate our early fishing trips with packed meals. On the other hand, I was disappointed by the state of the facilities, with noticeable wear and tear. The restaurant was confusing since it wasn't part of the resort, and I wish they had accepted card payments. Overall, while the fishing experience was fantastic, the resort needs some significant improvements.

I had a relaxing stay at the hotel, enjoying the stunning ocean view and the well-prepared Italian food at the restaurant. The spacious suite was clean and comfortable, but I encountered issues with the road leading to the hotel and the internet connection in my room. The beach was beautiful but not always safe for swimming. It’s worth a visit if you appreciate nature and peace, but be prepared for some drawbacks.
